Walking the Graph

"Slower!"
"Faster!"
"You have to go farther back, it goes from here to here."
"Come closer!"
"STOP!"

These are not sexual innuendos--no matter how likely it seems that they are--, but are the things yelled across the classroom during our Walking the Graph lab. The purpose was to teach us how to accurately match a graph displaying Distance vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time by our physical walking patterns tracked by a motion detector. The data was then inputed into the computer and compared side-by-side with the target graph. Although the DT graphs were fairly easy to match, the VT graphs seemed downright impossible. Perseverance came through, however, and we managed producing adequately shaped graph lines.
Set it up and off you go. 

That's pretty good for a blind person

Oh wait a sec.
